And since they get so little attention from journalists and the big shots on Wall Street, we can pick up these income wonders at spectacular discounts, as I’ll show you in just a moment.

So if you’re at or near retirement – or just looking to grab some extra cash to pay the bills or bulk up your savings, these unsung funds are EXACTLY what you’re looking for.

The best part? You can use that dead-giveaway signal I mentioned earlier – the same one our lucky PCI investors used – to precisely forecast when these funds will make their next upward move.

Let me explain.

The profit alarm I’m talking about is a crucial figure called the discount to net asset value (NAV).

We don’t have to get too far down in the weeds here. Suffice it to say, it’s the difference between the fund’s market price and value of its portfolio. It’s a common number that’s dead simple to find on any fund screener.

Here’s the key thing to know: these discounts are basically free money!

Let’s go back to PCI.

Back on February 1, 2016, it was trading at a 14% discount to NAV.

So buying then meant you got every dollar of the fund’s assets for just $0.86!

Absurd discounts like this don’t exist anywhere else in the investing world. But they happen all the time with CEFs.

There’s more, though.

Because these discounts are hands-down the clearest contrarian indicators I’ve ever seen – and a bombproof reliable “early warning system” of BIG gains ahead.

You see, the more investors dislike a fund’s strategy, the greater the discount they’ll likely demand.

The irony? Most people spend their time chasing recent performance, which means they’re more likely to sell a fund at the very moment it’s due for a turnaround.

So when a fund’s discount drops below its historical average, that’s the time to put it on your watch list. And when that discount gets unusually wide – say double the historical pattern … that’s the time to strike.

The result?

When the herd realizes its mistake and piles back in, you’ll be sitting pretty with an early position.

Then you sit back and watch as that discount window slams shut – squeezing the fund’s price to a practically GUARANTEED double-digit gain.

And don’t forget, CEFs are income vehicles, so we’ll collect their fat dividends the whole time!

This is exactly what happened with PCI: over the following 15 months, its discount slowly bubbled away, closing from 14% to less than 1% – propelling the fund’s market price to that mammoth gain I showed you earlier!

Take a look:

And history is about to repeat with the 7.6%-average payers I’ll show you in just a moment. All 4 of these overlooked funds are trading at ridiculous discounts to NAV ready to snap shut and catapult them to fast double-digit gains, just like PCI’s did!

“Profit Alarm” Goes Off, Buy, Repeat

Still not convinced?

Here’s another example that delivered a quick profit hit – with much of the gain in CASH – to members of my CEF Insider service:

On March 27, 2017, I pounded the table on the Nuveen California Quality Municipal Income Fund (NAC), urging CEF Insider members to jump on the fund’s insane 6.5% discount right away!

At the time, it also boasted a fat 7% dividend yield.

Here’s what’s happened to its discount since:

Source: CEF Connect

Less than four months later, the gap closed to just 1% – and we rode NAC to a quick 10.5% in gains and dividends, crushing the S&P 500’s return!

As I said, seemingly impossible discounts like this happen all the time in the CEF universe.

By now I’m sure you’re seeing the pattern here.

Buy.

Wait for the discount to NAV to close.

Repeat.

It really is that simple.

The Last True Bargains

My name is Michael Foster, and I’m the only analyst in the world who is 100% devoted to CEFs with market caps under $1 billion.

Why less than $1 billion?

Because this is where the biggest discounts in the CEF universe live. And it’s also a pond that’s strictly off limits to the big guys, so we have these juicy income – and capital gain – opportunities all to ourselves!

Think about it: if a big investment house with, say, a $20-billion market cap, bought every single share of a CEF with a $500-million market cap and that CEF doubled, it would only boost the buyer’s market cap by a measly 2.6%.

It’s just not worth the hassle!

But you and I don’t have that problem.

I can’t wait to tell you all about these under-the-radar CASH machines – the same ones I used to dump my grinding 80-hour work week as a research professor, boost my net worth and build an income stream that easily covers my bills.

That’s the kind of punch these high-yield funds pack. And now it’s time for me to show you the 4 CEFs that can do the same for you, starting with…

Bargain CEF Play #1: An 8.1%

Payout and EASY 20% Upside

My top pick not only survived the financial crisis, it rebounded far more quickly than the market and has gone on to hand investors FAR BIGGER GAINS since.

And it did it by investing in … real estate.

Though you’d never know it by looking at this fund’s market price, which is actually well below where it was when it first went public in the 1990s.

Most investors see a chart like that and think it looks awful.

But they’re looking at the wrong chart!

Remember, CEFs are income vehicles, so you need to focus on total return, not price alone, to get the full picture. And when you add its fat dividend payout (which yields a tidy 8.1% today) back in, you get a chart that looks like this:

Think about that for a moment.

This fund not only more than DOUBLED the market’s gain – even when you factor in the Great Recession and the subprime mortgage crisis – but it did it while paying a rock-solid 7%+ dividend the whole time!

Plus you also get a current yield that’s more than triple the S&P 500’s payout and access to top-flight management that slashes your risk even further.

If this isn’t a fund worth paying a premium for, I don’t know what is.

But thanks to the wacky mispricings in CEF land, this one’s trading at a 3.3% discount to NAV.

Once the herd catches on to what it’s missing, this fund could easily blow into premium territory.

How do I know? Because it’s happened many times in the past – and when it does again, we’ll easily be sitting on an EASY 20% gain on top of this fund’s juicy 8.1% dividend payout.

Bargain CEF Play #2: This 7.8% Payer

LOVES Rising Interest Rates!

My second pick is trading at a silly 12.8% discount as I write this.

That wide discount stems from the fact that “first-level” investors are in a lather about my No. 2 pick’s main holding: junk bonds.

You see, the herd is living in the past, writing off these bonds because the Federal Reserve’s low-interest-rate environment caused their yields (and the yields on pretty well everything) to shrink.

But here’s the truth: Times have changed. The Fed has raised interest rates slowly in the last few years, and more hikes are on the way.

And what do junk bonds do when rates rise: they pay higher dividends!

The fund’s current discount doesn’t account for any of this – but it’s only a matter of time until it does!

And here’s the kicker: management has skin in the game – something I don’t see nearly enough in the CEF universe.

This fund’s management team includes a Wall Street vet who’s been with the fund-management company for 20 years. As I write, he’s sitting on 20,622 units of my No. 2 pick, with a current value of around $250,000!

He works closely with a team of 3 other portfolio managers, bringing their total experience to an incredible 115 years!

There’s no reason to hold off on this one. Let’s join – and profit alongside – this whip-smart pro at a ridiculous discount now.

Bargain CEF Play #3: Turning Apple’s

1.5% Yield Into a 7.7% Cash Gusher!

My third pick holds some of the biggest names in tech – Apple and Google among them – and turns their low (or in Google’s case, no) dividend yields into an astonishing 7.7% yield.

And it trades at an equally astonishing 6% discount!

How does it manage such a yield?

It uses a clever “heads-you-win-tails-you-win” strategy to juice these tech titans’ payouts and hand you that safe 7.7% income stream: it sells call options (or the right to buy a stock if it rises above a certain price) on some of the rock-steady names in its portfolio.

We don’t have to get into a lesson on option selling here, but the upshot is this: if my No. 3 pick “wins” this bet, it simply keeps the upfront cash that call-option buyers hand it in return for this right.

And that cash goes out to you in the form of dividends.

Most of the time, this is where the story ends.

But if the fund happens to “lose,” it simply sells the stock to the option buyer, usually at a nice profit. And that cash also goes out to you in the form of dividends, too!

This is an extremely lucrative, low-risk way to generate cash from a stock portfolio, and it gives you some nice downside protection as a side bonus.

But it’s not the only reason why I like this fund.

It’s also easily out-earning its dividend, so this is one of the safest payouts you’ll find in the CEF space. Plus it’s well diversified across the world, giving us yet another margin of safety.

The topper: its ridiculous 6% discount means our upside is built in! Let’s grab this one and start pocketing its hefty payout while we’re waiting for its share price to light up.

Bargain CEF Play #4: A 6.4% Payer

That’s on Sale Now!

Preferred stocks have been roughed up lately, for no good reason:

In early February, preferred stocks began falling before “regular” stocks took a dive. This is pretty common—preferreds tend to go down before stocks and recover after stocks.

As stocks recover, preferreds are in a perfect position to be snapped up by savvy buyers. And the savviest way to buy is with a preferred- stock specialist.

My fourth pick is run by one of the world’s best-known preferred-stock management companies, with one of the best track records in the sector. With more than $2.2 billion in assets across 5 funds, the company has also taken advantage of the unique CEF structure to control its asset purchases.

Since closed-end fund managers don’t have to sell assets whenever investors demand their money back (unlike mutual funds and ETFs), the fund can buy during market freakouts and sell during periods of euphoria.

That isn’t just a theory; the company has done exactly that many times. That’s why this fund (blue line in the chart below) bounced back from the 2007–09 financial crisis faster than an index fund like the iShares US Preferred Stock ETF (PFF) while also paying a higher dividend:

Even better, this fund typically trades at a premium to its NAV, often as high as 10% or even 20%, but today it can be had at a discount.

Bottom line: This incredible markdown is spring loaded to slam shut and catapult the fund’s price (and our profits!) into the stratosphere when it returns to “normal.”

To give you the full story on all these picks and everything you need to know to reap big, safe profits from CEFs, I’ve prepared 3 in-depth guides, starting with:

Special Report #1 (a $99 value):

My first report, “4 Great CEFs to Buy Now: 7.6% Yields and 20% Upside Ahead,” gives you all the profitable details on my top 4 CEF picks.

You’ll get:

Names, ticker symbols, buy-under prices and all the nitty-gritty you need to know before you buy.

Full details on how each fund makes its money, what’s behind its unusual discount and why that gap is set to slam shut, propelling us to 20%+ price gains – and more – in the next 12 months!

In-depth analysis of the people behind each of these funds. This is something too many investors ignore but is absolutely vital for safe CEF profits. Since CEFs are all I cover, I spend my days studying the moves of these investment pros. And yes, that includes personally phoning them up and putting them on the hot seat.

And much more!

Your 3-part CEF library also includes…

Special Report #2 (a $99 value):

Your source for all things CEF, “The Ultimate Guide to CEFs” gives you everything you need to know to reap maximum profit from your own CEF picks, including:

How CEFs can pay outsized dividend yields – and a simple way to make sure your fund’s payout is sustainable.

The relationship between CEF performance and management fees (it’s not what you think!)

The surprising reason why the liquidation of a CEF is actually good news for investors.

Special Report #3 (a $99 value):

The third guide is called “5 Toxic CEFs That Could Ruin Your Retirement.”

These 5 funds look attractive but contain hidden traps waiting to snap on the unwary, including:

Outrageously high fees hidden deep in the fine print (in one case, management is snagging an obscene 48% of the fund’s investment income for itself!).

Way too much leverage: one of these funds uses borrowed cash to buy other CEFs that are propped up by borrowed cash themselves! When the next downturn hits, this one is hardwired to double up the market’s losses – or worse!

Dangerous dividends, like the ridiculous 18.5% one fund pays. Too bad that payout is built on risky, illiquid derivatives. If you want to rack up steep losses fast, this is the fund to buy!
